Title: Motorcycle recalls
Post by: saaz on August 25, 2013, 03:57:53 PM

This may be of wider interest, as it covers all official product safety recalls.  This is the bike link, but there are other products on the website. Later model ST1300 is in there for a brake hose issue.

Had it done about 18 months ago. No cost and no dramas.

It'a always the extreme case that triggers these recalls,  oddly enough, frequently originating in USA, the home of litigation.
I can imagine two Yanks at 220 plus pounds each hopping on a suffering ST and causing grief around the suspension.
